35 of the Best Porto Restaurants, Bars and Markets

The Northern Portugal city has emerged from Lisbon’s shadow with a food scene that rivals the bigger city to the south.

Fueled by a constant stream of international visitors and a growing population of expat residents, Porto has a food scene that improves and expands each year.
